This unit was installed in 2000 as part of a gasification facility to convert heavy refinery residues into clean syngas. The facility shut down in early 2013. The entire gasification facility is available for sale.

The unit was designed by ABB Lummus Global and utilizes Parsons technology for the removal of approximately 2.2% of hydrogen sulfide (H2S) and sulfur dioxide (SO2) from 11,000 kg/hr of tailgas leaving the Sulfur Recovery Unit (SRU) section which is also available for purchase. The MDEA flow rates in the contactor and regeneration sections are 100 m3/hr.

As mentioned in the Brief Oveview, the Tail Gas Treatment Unit is part of a larger gasification plant. The facility shut down in early 2013. The entire gasification facility is available for sale. This Syngas Manufacturing Process Plant (SMPP) converts heavy refinery residues into clean syngas utilizing licensed technology from Texaco, ABB, UOP, Parson, and Praxair. Under normal operating conditions, approximately 59 mt/hr (1,400 mt/day) of heavy residues are consumed by the SMPP (Syngas Manufacturing Process Plant) in the production of about 140 mt/hr of clean syngas, consisting primarily of CO and H2. The syngas is then diluted with nitrogen and burned as a combustible fuel in the Combined-Cycle Process Plant (CCPP) gas turbine (not available for sale). This process results in very low production of sulfur oxides and NOx. The output from this unit includes about 33 m3/hr of pre-treated water and a 4 mt/hr of liquid sulfur.
